According to an article from USA Today, Ronda Rousey and WWE are “very close” to terms on reaching a deal. The site reports that while details are being finished up, the source wanted to remain anonymous because the deal has not been made public as of this writing.

Rousey appeared at WrestleMania 31 and was spotted in the crowd during WWE’s Mae Young Classic tournament. She has not fought in the UFC since her loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on December 30th, 2016. During a recent video on Rousey’s Twitter account to promote a new website she’s launching, footage was shown of her training at the WWE Performance Center. You can check that out below:

Rousey’s longtime friend, Gene Le Bell, said the following: “I love Ronda, and anything she can do to make money for her and her new husband then I am rooting for her. She will get a lot of money and that’s great.”
